How to Get Started
How do I join DadCraft
DadCraft is a 21+ Minecraft community with an approval process. Begin by filling out the whitelist request form on our website. Next, connect with us on Discord so staff can complete the review process. Once approved, you will receive access details and can join the server.
Where do I begin after approval
Start in Quesoville, the heart of DadCraft. Take a look around, visit the public destinations, and get familiar with the world before choosing a place for your home or first project. Useful stops include the /bank, /mall, /library, and /crafthouse.
How do I find Important locations
DadCraft has several useful destinations available through quick travel commands, including /bank, /mall, /library, and /crafthouse. You can also use the Live BlueMap from our website to explore Quesoville and locate landmarks visually.
What is Quesoville
Quesoville is DadCraft’s main community world and growing capital city. It is home to player builds, shared resources, shops, landmarks, and long-term community projects. Resource gathering takes place in a separate Resource World so Quesoville can continue growing without being stripped apart for materials.
Luma Currency & Shopping
What is Luma
Luma is DadCraft’s in-game currency. Use it to buy useful resources, shop at player-run storefronts in the /mall, rent a shop of your own, and take part in the world’s economy.
Earn it. Spend it. Stare proudly at your balance while pretending you are not about to spend all of it on building materials.
How do I earn Luma
Visit the /bank to sell eligible blocks and resources back to the server for Luma. Mining, farming, gathering, and exploring can all turn into spending money for your next project or shopping trip.
Your extra inventory clutter may be worth more than you think.
How do I buy or sell at the bank
Travel to the /bank and use the shop stations inside. You can sell gathered materials to earn Luma or purchase valuable blocks and resources directly from the server.
The Bank is the reliable starting point of the DadCraft economy: gather materials, trade them in, then take your earnings to the /mall.
How do I rent a shop in the Mall
The /mall is DadCraft’s player-run marketplace, where Residents can rent a storefront, stock their own goods, and sell directly to the community.
Weekly shop rent:
Kiosk: 250 Luma
Small Shop: 400 Luma
Standard Shop: 650 Luma
Anchor Shop: 1,000 Luma
Start with a shelf. Grow into an empire. Try not to spend all your profits shopping in the store next door.
Discord & Community
Why is Discord required
Discord is the central hub for the DadCraft community. It is where new players complete onboarding and age verification, access important documentation, receive announcements and server updates, and stay connected with staff and other players.
DadCraft is more than a Minecraft server address. Discord helps us build a safe, active 21+ community around the world we are creating together.
What happens during age verification
DadCraft is a 21+ community, so new members must complete age verification before receiving full server access. Verification takes place through Discord as part of onboarding and helps us maintain an adult-only community where players can feel comfortable connecting and building together.
Verification details and accepted methods are provided privately during the onboarding process.
Where can I find rules, updates or get help
Discord is the best place to find DadCraft documentation, full community expectations, announcements, plugin updates, gameplay information, and support from staff.
Having trouble with a command, spotting a bug, or experiencing an issue in-game? Report it in Discord so staff can investigate and keep the server running smoothly.
Is Discord only for server support
Not even close. Discord is where the community lives beyond the blocks. It is where players can chat, share builds, suggest ideas, join contests, attend movie nights, and take part in future community events as DadCraft grows.
Minecraft builds the world. Discord helps build the friendships around it.
Commands & Travel
How do I travel to key locations
DadCraft makes it easy to reach the places you will use the most. Type /mall to visit player shops, /bank to buy and sell resources for Luma, /library for enchanted books and free enchanting, /crafthouse for shared crafting tools or /resource when its time to gather materials. You can also use /tardis to open a clickable travel menu with many of DadCraft’s main destinations. It is basically your shortcut panel for exploring the world without memorizing every command.
How do I visit the Resource World
Use /resource to travel to the dedicated Resource World, or select it through the /tardis travel menu. This is the world built for mining, gathering, and exploration, helping preserve Quesoville for homes, landmarks, shops, and long-term community builds.
Flight is available in the Resource World, making it easier to explore and gather what you need. Since this world may be refreshed from time to time, do not build anything there that you want to keep permanently.
How do homes and teleport work
Residents and above can set a home location using /sethome, then return to it later with /home. Choose a safe location inside your base so getting home is easy after building, shopping, or gathering resources.
To request a teleport to another player, use /tpa followed by their player name. The other player can accept with /tpaccept or decline with /tpdeny. Always ask before teleporting into someone’s space. Good neighbors make better builders.
Building & Protection
How do I protect my build
Use a golden shovel to create a land claim around your home or project. Click one corner of the area you want to protect, then click the opposite corner to create your claim. Once claimed, other players cannot build, break blocks, or access protected storage without your permission.
Need to check a claim? Use a stick on the ground to see who owns the area.
How do claim blocks work
Every player begins with claim blocks to protect their first build, and you earn more automatically as you spend time playing on DadCraft. Larger builds require more claim blocks, so expand thoughtfully and protect the spaces that matter most.
Need more room? Additional claim blocks can be purchased using Luma through the server economy.
Can I let other players build with me
Yes. Stand inside your claim and use /trust followed by a player’s name to allow them to build with you. You can also use more limited trust options for access to doors, buttons, containers, or shared resources without giving full building permission.
Use /trustlist to see who has access, and /untrust followed by a player’s name to remove access later.
Where should I build or gather resources
Build your permanent home, shop, or community project in Quesoville, where player creations are meant to last and become part of the world.
Use /resource when you need wood, stone, ores, or room to gather materials. The Resource World is designed for mining and exploration and may be refreshed periodically, so do not build anything there you would be heartbroken to lose.
Vanguard
What is Vanguard
Vanguard is a limited-time recognition rank awarded by DadCraft staff to Residents who make the community better through creativity, kindness, contribution, or standout involvement.
It is not a staff rank, and it is not part of normal progression. Vanguard is our way of celebrating players who bring something special to the world.
How do I become Vanguard
There is no application, purchase button, or playtime shortcut for Vanguard. Staff may award it when a Resident stands out through great builds, helpfulness, community spirit, event participation, or another contribution worth celebrating.
Basically: be the kind of player who makes DadCraft better for everyone around you.
What are the Vanguard Perks
Vanguard players receive a distinctive in-game rank and expanded personal vault storage, with access to up to 10 private vault pages for keeping valuable materials, project supplies, and prized finds organized.
Additional limited-time perks may be included as DadCraft events and systems continue to grow.
Vanguard Perks:
• A distinctive Vanguard rank badge
• 10 private Player Vault pages
• Portable Ender Chest access
• Portable crafting table access
• Self-feed and self-heal commands
• FLY in game!
• DOUBLE Job earnings and XP
Vanguard is built to feel like a celebration: extra convenience, extra style, and a few fun powers for players who have made an impact in the community.
Is Vanguard a staff role
No. Vanguard players are celebrated community members, not moderators or administrators. They do not receive staff authority, moderation tools, or control over other players.
Vanguard means you made an impact. It does not mean you inherited the keys to the kingdom.

Player Commands
Quick Reference
Know what you want to do, but not what to type? Use DadCraft’s most useful player commands in one easy reference.
/tardis
DadCraft’s Fast Travel System
Bigger server. Less walking. Way more fun.
TARDIS is DadCraft’s custom fast-travel system that lets you teleport easily to important locations set up by DAD. No memorizing commands. No guesswork. Just click and go. Think of it like your personal time-and-space passport, minus the British accent.
Type this command in chat:
/tardis
That’s it. The GUI menu pops open.
You’ll see a menu of preset destinations
- Each icon represents a real place on the server
- Click the destination you want
- You’re instantly teleported there
If a button does nothing, that warp is just not enabled yet. It’s not broken. It’s “coming soon.”
Destinations are created and maintained by [DAD] <fredd> to keep things safe, fair, and organized. Examples you might see:
- Spawn Hub
- Shops District
- Event Areas
- Public Worlds
- Special seasonal builds
No random player traps. No mystery warps. If it’s in TARDIS, it’s approved.
Important Rules
- The TARDIS only sends you to approved locations
- You cannot add your own warps
- Access is based on your role
- If you can’t access a feature, location, facility or world, that’s by design, not a
- bug. You are assigned access based on your role, membership or staff
- status.
- If you’re denied a teleport, the system is protecting the server
Translation: this keeps the server clean, safe, and drama-free.
Pro Tips
- Use TARDIS instead of asking for teleports in chat
- Check back often. New locations get added as the community continues to grow.
- If something feels off, tell a staff member in chat.
- If you get lost, the Spawn Hub is your best friend: /spawn
Troubleshooting
Nothing happens when I click a destination
- The warp is not live yet, likely a future area that has not been built. You can volunteer to build it out. Dad provides supplies!I get denied
- You don’t have permission for that area. This is intentional based on your role
The GUI won’t open
- Double-check the command: /tardis If it still fails, tell staff in the chat or DM Dad <fredd> .
Final Word
TARDIS exists to save time, reduce confusion, and keep the server fun for everyone.
Less walking. More building. Zero chaos.
Keep in mind, when you’re in the RESOURCE world, you will automatically have FLY ability to zoom around to biomes faster!
Welcome to fast travel, DadCraft style.
-[DAD]
